Domaine Armand Heitz is located in Chassagne-Montrachet and was founded in the mid-1980s by Armand Heitz’s parents Brigette and Christian with initially just 5 hectares. Armand studied oenology and then decided to take over his family’s vines after completing his studies in 2011. He made his first vintage in 2013 with the help of consulting oenologist Ludovic Pierrot who had spent eight years working with Anne-Claude Leflaive at Domaine Leflaive. Armand farms the vineyards using biodynamic practices and his winemaking style is traditional in approach with the use of new oak kept at a minimum, usually around just 15-25%. For Armand Heitz himself, the ideal of a Burgundy wine is the elite Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Ramonet, which are the winemaker's path: biodynamic, nature-friendly viticulture, low yields, moderate use of oak barrels (15-25% new oak), and the expression of terroir. The wines produced here express their terroir while also being quite giving in their fruit expression. The white wine has a clear minerality, a full texture, expressive, pure aromas with well integrated oak character. The red is aromatic, with fine and smooth tannins, juicy and with a predominant red berry character. The winery owns prestigious vineyards that have been acquired since 1857, including one of the best, Meursault 1er Cru Perrières, the pride of the winery, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Têtes de Clos, as well as the Grand Cru Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet, and the best of the Grand Cru of Pommard (1er Cru Les Rugiens) and the Grand Cru equivalent of Volnay (1er Cru Les Taillepieds). These are complemented by the less famous vineyards of Chassagne, Meursault and Pommard, which have their own distinctive characteristics.
